<p>Although Byerly obviously posts a lot, a lot of what Byerly posts is interesting, and if you disagree then don't waste time complaining and do something "useful"</p>
<p>But, I have one question: do you have a job? Any job? I mean, I like what you post and all, but I've just always pondered that...</p>
<p>A nice piece by The Hindu, though they always do highlight Indian success stories well! A great read, especially for those who weren't sure about buying the book (me).</p>

<p>wow. i think that some of these can be attributed to coincidence, but damn, that "Five department stores, and 170 specialty shops"</p>
<p>Why would she copy the exact same number of speciality shops? Thats just stupid...</p>
<p>I agree. My thoughts exactly.</p>
<p>Oh man, she is so screwed.</p>
<p>oh wow. thats crazy. plagarism is bad, kiddies.</p>
<p>hahahah byerly walked into this one.</p>
<p>way to go harvard admitted student</p>
<p>LOL, Byerly is probably blushing crimson right now.</p>
<p>Her book went through a <em>lot</em> of editing before publication. A lot of students are thinking (hoping?) that these passages were added during that process....</p>
<p>Wow, all those passages just <em>happen</em> to sound similar...coincidence? I think not.</p>
<p>wow someone should send this to The Hindu lol... but really this is crazy</p>
<p>Just forget me:</p>
<p>Unlikely, I'd think ... but that would certainly be something if it were true.</p>
<p>I still dont quite understand <em>why</em> these passages were plagarized. I mean, it's not as if they are some sort of magically written literature, and it seems like the huge risk of plagarism isn't justified...</p>
<p>Well, true; then again, I don't think she was aiming to write "magically written literature . . . "</p>
